Renner's Grill and Lounge

Renner’s Grill was established in 1939 by Milo and Bessie Renner who acquired the property and business formerly known as the Cry Baby Café. The couple began the gradual transformation of the very unique space you see today. After several years they added the second floor residence and moved from the space that is now known to locals and regulars alike, as the “Suburban Room Lounge”. The couple operated the bar and café until 1979, when it was purchased by the Langton family who maintained the original bar, coffee counter and menus. Steve Langton managed, cooked and bartended for 22 years, opening every day at 7:00am, serving full breakfast, lunch and dinner fare. Steve passed away on March 6, 2004, doing what he loved: cooking, bartending and running Renner’s. In February of 2001 Renner’s Bar and Grill was acquired by the current owner who is committed to the stewardship and maintenance of this historic landmark and local institution. Renner’s Grill continues to be the oldest continuously operated business in Multnomah Village and one of the oldest restaurants in the Portland area. The dedicated staff and management is proud to be associated with Renner’s Grill and are committed to offering only the very best products, in a clean, safe and friendly environment. We sincerely appreciate and value your loyal patronage.
